The station was first opened as Caledonian Road in 1852 by the London North Western Railway. However, this station was to the East of the current station which opened in 1870 as Barnsbury [1]. The station was renamed Caledonian Road & Barnsbury in 1893.
The original platform 1 was replaced by an island platform in 2010 with platforms 2 and 3 being the open stations. Access to the island platform is from a footbridge. The original station building with surface level entrance was demolished in 1969 [2]. The current station has the standard and usual London Overground facilities. The station is close to (though unconnected with) Caledonian Road tube station on the Piccadilly Line.
